Well I received my G-Tech Pro (http://gtechpro.com/) unit on Friday and this morning I went out and made a few runs. It's hard to find a flat level road with out heavy trafic here in South East MI, but here are the results:

Sounds about equal to my 96 Chevy Crew Cab Dually with 7.4 4x4 and 4.56 gears, stock all to way.

Overall both are doing great.

FYI, Four Wheeler Magazine (9/98) tested a 1998 Chevy Crew Cab Dually with 7.4 4x4 and 4.56 gears:

0-60: 10.46s

V10--Power,

Not sure. Wish I had the G-Tech before I made all the chnages and had a base line on the Acceleration and 1/4 mile times.

In a December 1998 road test on a 99 SD F-250 SuperCab w/V-10 w/4.30 gears did the 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. http://www.trucktrend.com/dec98/f250/f250_f.html

The runs around 16 sec sound right. The 14.95 sounds way to fast.

If your really interested take it to a drag strip. Most strips have open test & tune nights on Fridays. I've taken my Mach1 to them on several occations and you'll see everything from full on race cars there to slant 6 Darts.

The G-tech is a good product. What it is most usfull for is checking the performance results after modifications against a baseline taken with the same G-tech.

Chirico,

Yep, the G-Tech needs a flat level road to get an accurate reading, that's why I threw out the under 15 second run.

Every month during the summer one of the automotice groups I belong to has an open day at the strip, but my schedule or the weather prevented me from getting there. I agree I need to get to the track, I also need to get back to the Dyno.

Thanks for the feedback.
